 Poster: A snowHead
|
So, we're checking out of our Appartment in Les Menuires yesterday, they had very kindly agreed to transport my skis and boots to Oxalys for the EOSB.
I had hand written a note and attached it to my ski bag, included the word "Snowheads" as a reference.
The very polite lady scans my note and exclaims "Oh, Graham has just checked into Appartment 15"
Me "I'm sorry"
Lady "Graham, Monsieur Snowheads has just arrived and is staying here, he arrived just 10 minutes ago"
Managed to track him down and had a quick chat before we left, if you PM him and don't get any response he'll be playing in the awesome snow 
Actually his first words to me were "Got any spare tea bags ?"

bladeskier, Excellent, but he's had that many trips this year it was inevitable someone would bump into him

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

So far, this season, I've 'bumped' into JP Auclair, Glen Plake, Andreas Fransson (I didn't bump into him so much as throw his skis to the ground) and Mr S Morrison himself. I consider that to be a good season's bumping.

I saw Damien Lewis in a corner shop in Tufnell Park the other day. He's as handsome as in the films, even if he is ginger.

I shared a lift at Sauze with Craig Phillips (who won the first ever Big Brother).
True fact.
Glen Plake - Met him a couple of years ago in London. Very big hands. And you know what they say about men with big hands.......
Big gloves.

Zero-G, To be fair you do live about 20 yds from their commute to work and also hang out round some disreputable foot fetish establishment so you're stacking the random deck in your favour a bit.

My two best bumps neither of which were this year were Fergie plus princesses in Verbier, and Bob Geldof on the train up to Zermatt.

Howard Marks (born Dennis Howard Marks on 13 August 1945) is a Welsh author and former drug smuggler who achieved notoriety as an international cannabis smuggler through high-profile court cases. At his peak he was supposedly smuggling consignments of the drug as large as 30 tons, and was connected with groups as diverse as the CIA, the IRA, MI6, and the Mafia.

Masque, not cute in a brotherly way - not dangerous in a brotherly way, but would probably kill you, me and your mean buddies in our sleep for a bit of a laugh. I have her programmed in my phone as 'Pulp Fiction'

Yeah - we saw him at the top of Auris on Tuesday. Seems a reasonable skier which sort of surprised me (not sure why that should be the case)

Zero-G,
It's a point on my bucket list, "become mountain bike legend" allowing me to wear a leather suit and tie with diamond glasses. Only way i can get away with it!

I was behind the "cast" of Geordie Shore at the baggage drop in T5 the other day.
I feel I win.

On planes I've seen/met Joan Collins, Terry Wogan, Richard Branson, James May, Cherie Blaire/Booth (not all at the same time of course)
My mate worked for an investment bank in London and they put him up in a company apartment for a while. He decided to introduce himself to his new neighbour so knocked on the door. It was opened by Claudia Schiffer. I think he ran out of milk and sugar quite a lot after that.

dulcamara, OK, I give in. Who is the chap with the diamond glasses and weird moustache? He looks like the love child of Salvador Dali and Michael Caine. But pretty cool all the same.

I'm pretty sure I saw Peter Gabriel on a snowboard about 15 years ago. It was after lunch, so I can't be 100% sure.
